• Husqvarna Motorcycles Made In Sweden - About 1988 and older

  • Hi everyone,

    As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.

    When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.

    Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.

    Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.

    Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.

    Thanks for your patience and support!

i need to get a few seats done...my local woman who does them is skilled but her hands hurt and is kinda retired. i hate bothering her with them. i knew i needed something "powered" to get the job done. did some research and decided to go with air for sure..did more research and decided to go with this bad boy..
the fasco F1B 7C‑16

made in italy, and rebuildable. these are easy to service and order parts for too. cant wait to try it out. i ordered a good size box of stainless staples too.
 
It's not as sexy, but I've got a pneumatic stapler from Harbor Freight that did a good job on my last seat re-cover. The quality and consistency of your air is important to the job, so if you don't have one already, it's time to invest in a good pressure regulator. Ideally you've got a spare seat pan, or something of similar plastic to zero in your pressure before you start the job. If not, remember if you start a little bit light, you can finish off your staples with a hammer (as opposed to starting too heavy and putting a staple-width slice in your seat cover).

i wondered about buying something cheaper, as ive used some cheap air nailers that worked ok without jamming...i like to try investing in tools when im able so im hoping it works well and lasts. i have 4 seats to do whenever it gets here..so the labor i would have paid will nearly pay for the gun.
i do have a few junk seats in the attic i could practice with i suppose. will be nice to have stainless so theres no rusty staples too..

It's always good to buy quality tools, the good ones usually come with a warranty too. That's my preference, but sometimes cheap and available puts the rubber in contact with the road. By no means was I bragging about buying HF, more admitting than anything.

no doubt, if i was sure the harbor freight one i picked would be fine...id grab it. not ike this will used all the time. some seats and a few things around the house.
i just hate the situation i fall into sometimes where i buy something and later find it sucks and that money is now wasted. then its a choice of dealing with that or reinvesting again...
post up the info of the hf unit you got if you found it works well. may help anyone else searching
 
I bought this one a few years ago for 30 bucks off of Amazon. I didn't want to spend a lot, and this one seemed to get enough decent reviews. I'm lousy at reupholstering seats anyway, and didn't feel like the tool should be better than I was.:rolleyes:
 
My 2 cents worth. I have the harbor freight version and I've done more than 6 seats with it. Works flawless and no complaints. I buy quality tools when it makes sense but for something like this, i can't justify the added cost.
I do use arrow stainless 1/4" staples.
 
Anyone come up with a solution to stop the cracking around the slot cut into the seat pan where the frame slips into the seat?, i will be cutting out the original cracking piece and rivetting/epoxy in a new plastic section.i bought a cheapo stapler that jams every third staple and spits out two or three at a time, guns spends most of its time bouncing off the shed wall.

Do those staplers actually hook the end of the staples?​
think about it:thinking: ....is there a lower jaw for the staple to be curled????​
 
Funny stuff when the fastners cost more than the stapler
I happen to have a few of the Senco ones for business and can tell you that the reason they sell tools is to sell fastners, well Senco tells the dealer that
Any stapler that does the job is a good stapler
